OPERATION OF IMpLANrAr1oN
To be Performed Before the Medical

group Of learned doctors stood In the
lobby OF the Arlington Hotel last night,
when reporter for the NATIONAL REPUB.

was handsome gentleman about FIVE feet

"What is implantaton !" asked the re-
porter.
"lmplantation," said he, "is forming OF
n cavity or socket in the jaws where teeth
have been out for some time, aud planting
healthy teeth in there aud making them
grow. Many people who have worn artif
dial plates for over twenty years have ny

the plates"
Isn't there considerable danger attending
this operation ~
mo, the process to which he subjects
the teeth he implants destroys whatever
germs OF disease might possibly be IN the
teeth, and so prevents all danger either
from the operation itself or any contagion
or infection from the tooth.n

Where Light IL Wanted.

The departure of Secretary Bayard to
Philadelphia yesterday prevented the Chi
nese envoys and Count Mitkiewicz from
calling upon him. Nothing is known at
the Department of State OF the nature Of
the concession, beyond that contained In
the official advices from the United States
consul at Tientsln, already published. I'm
less the viceroy's letter to Secretary Bayard
throws new light upon the matter, the
officials Of the department are at loss to
know how the United States government
can aid the ENJOYS In the negotiation Of n
concession, or even recognize them officially,
